 Burgundians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moreover, Gundobad's son and successor, Sigismund, was himself a Catholic, and there is evidence that many of the Burgundian people had converted by this time as well, including several female members of the ruling family.
Gregory states that Gundobad murdered his brother Chilperic, drowning his wife and exiling their daughters (one of whom was to become the wife of Clovis the Frank, and was reputedly responsible for his conversion).
Either Gundobad and Clovis reconciled their differences, or Gundobad was forced into some sort of vassalage by Clovis' earlier victory, as the Burgundian king appears to have assisted the Franks in 507 in their victory over Alaric II the Visigoth.

According to Gregory of Tours, Chilperic was slain by Gundobad, his wife drowned, and of his two daughters, Chrona took the veil and Clotilde was exiled.
Her uncle Gundobad was asked for her hand in marriage by the Frankish king Clovis, who had just conquered northern Gaul, and the marriage was celebrated about 493.
In the following year she tried in vain to protect the rights of her grandsons, the children of Clodomer, against the claims of her sons Childebert I and Clotaire I, and was equally unsuccessful in her efforts to prevent the civil discords between her children.

Gundobad de Bourgogne, King of the Burgundians "Gundibald" was born circa 460.
Though formally an Arian, Gundobad was in fact a secret Catholic sympathizer and enjoyed good relations with the orthodox clergy, as with the Romans in general over whom he ruled.
The most important act of Gundobad's reign in Burgundy was his promulgation, early in the 6th century, of two codes of law, the Lex Gundobada, applying to all his subjects, and, somewhat later, the Lex Romana Burgundionum, applying to his Roman subjects.

 THE REIGN OF CLOVIS
At that time the brothers Gundobad and Godegisel were kings of the country about the Rhone and the Saone together with the province of Marseilles.
And he was indignant that he had been cast out from the city with the rest, and went to Gundobad in a rage to inform him how to burst into the city and take vengeance on his brother.
But Gundobad ordered that no harm should be done to a single one of them, but seized them and sent them in exile to king Alaric at Toulouse, and he slew the Burgundian senators who had conspired with Godegisel.

 History of Franche Comte - The Burgundians
Upon their deaths, first Chilperic then Gundioc, the territories were split among the 4 sons of Gundioc, Gundobad, Godigisel, Chilperic II and Gundomar, and fratricidal wars began.
Chilperic II was quickly deposed, killed in fact, by his brother Gundobad, though his wife and two daughters (Chroma and Clotilda, of whom we will hear more) escaped into exile.
Thus, Gundobad and Godigisel were the main Burgundian leaders during the conquests of Clovis I, King of the Franks.

Gundobad killed his brother Chilperic with the sword, and sank his wife in water with a stone tied to her neck.

Godegisel appears as a partaker of his sovereignty; Chilperic was said to have been put to death by his order, but this is not certain, as Avitus speaks of Chilperic's death and Godomar's (which happened early in his reign) as a great blow to him.
Gundobad was succeeded by his son Sigismund, who was captured by the Frankish kings in 523 and put to death in the next year.
Gundobad was not a persecutor, though some churches were taken from the Catholics; Avitus of Vienne seems even to have had hopes of his conversion.

 Burgundians
At first allies with Clovis's Franks against the Visigoths in the early 6th century, the Burgundians were eventually conquered by the Franks in AD The Burgundian kingdom was made part of the Merovingian kingdoms; the Burgundians themselves were by and large absorbed as well.
One of the earliest Germanic law codes, the Lex Gundobada[?] or Lex Burgundionum, is a collection of the constitutions or laws issued by king Gundobad[?], the best-known of the Burgundian kings, whose reign began in 474 and died in 516.
The Lex Romana Burgundionum was Gundobad's contribution towards providing laws for his Roman subjects as well as the Burgundians.

Hence in AD 473 Gundobad, who held the powerful position of 'Master of the Soldiers' in Italy, simply appointed an emperor himself.
Naturally Gundobad chose one of his own military men, namely Glycerius, who was the commander of the imperial bodyguard (comes domesticorum).
Had Gundobad's two brothers died, he had become his father's sole heir to the kingdom of Burgundy.

 Clovis
Clovis, learning about the girl, asked for her hand, and Gundobad was said to be too afraid to refuse.
King Gundobad's brother, Godegisel, now made secret overtures to Clovis, persuading him to invade Burgundy to support his own attempt on the throne.
In the light of Gundobad's murder of Chilperic, this might be seen as a pursuit of Chlothild's blood feud with the Burgundian king - or it might be that the 'murder' never took place, and was invented retrospectively, to justify Clovis' invasion.

 Northvegr - The Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians
Ricimer's nephew Gundobad seemed marked out to succeed to the place of his uncle---as the head of the military forces in Italy, and as the power behind the throne.
Gundobad belonged to the royal family of the Burgundians and was a son of the reigning Burgundian king; but he had entered the imperial service.
The importance of this part of his policy is conditioned by the common danger from the Vandals, which the eastern provinces had to fear as well as the western, though to a smaller extent.

King Gundobad was said to have been a just ruler who possessed an open mind and an even stronger sense of diplomacy.
He was intrigued by the teachings of the Catholic Church and established a good rapport with Bishop Avitus, but he refused to be baptized into the Catholic faith for fear that such a bold move might result in the revolt of his high nobles.
The cautions of his father, King Gundobad, resounded strongly within Sigismund and he attempted to balance his new faith with the predominantly Arian culture of his kingdom.

Now when Alaric, king of the Goths, saw Clovis conquering nations steadily, he sent envoys to him saying: "If my brother consents, it is the desire of my heart that with God's favor we have a meeting." Clovis did not spurn this proposal but went to meet him.

In 480 AD Gundobad and his brother kings succeeded his uncle Chilperic after having supported his kinsman, the Roman general Ricimer, in Italy and then succeeded him briefly as commander in chief of the Western Roman Army.
In the wars which followed Gundobad's brother Godigisel allied with the Franks and the Visigoths intervened against him, killing him and defeating his Frankish allies.
Then Gundobad switched sides and allied with the Franks against the Visigoths, probably due to pressure from another direction from the Alamanni.

 Glycerius
Glycerius held the rank of Count of the Domestics at the Imperial court in Ravenna when he was raised to the Imperial purple by the western empire's new Magister militum (or Master of Soldiers), the Burgundian Gundobad[?], on or around March 3, 473.
As a puppet of Gundobad who had succeeded the legitmately chosen emperor Anthemius, who had been murdered, he received no recognition from the eastern Roman court of Emperor Leo I.
Glycerius may have delayed the final end of the Western Empire for a few years.

Somewhere in the east they were converted to the Arian form of Christianity, which long sustained a gulf of suspicion and distrust between Burgundians and the Catholic Roman Empire of the West.
Divisions were evidently healed or healing circa AD 500, however, as Gundobad, the second to last Burgundian king, maintained a close personal friendship with Avitus, the Catholic bishop of Vienne.
One of the earliest Germanic legal codes, the Lex Gundobada or Lex Burgundiorum, is a written collection of laws issued by king Gundobad, (reigned 474 516) the best-known of the Burgundian kings.

 sollersuk : Holy Blood Holy Grail: Background VIII
Be that as it may, Remigius had as much, if not more, influence over Clovis as Avitus had over Gundobad, in a very similar situation: it was not the bishop of the capital who had the greatest influence and worked hardest on the matter; it was the bishop of the neighbouring city.
His response is almost identical to Gundobad’s answer to Avitus: if it was his personal choice he would do it at once, but it would also affect his people, and he did not know if they were ready for it.
Clovis and Gundobad share an attitude expressed by Sidonius Apollinaris, Theodoric and Gregory himself to non-Christians of their acquaintance (in some cases, close friends): “I would prefer it if you believed the same as I do, but nobody can be compelled to believe anything,” and they then go on to respect the other’s beliefs.

He humbly begs Chlodovech to hear his word, and advises him to spare Gundobad's life, but to make him pay tribute, in order that Chlodovech may thereby induce Gundobad to surrender the more quickly and come to rule over him and his land.
It looks as if we had a fantastic and indistinct echo of this in the incident in the ON poem that Fránmar transformed into a wise bird (fugl fróðhugaðr), comes to Atli's dwelling and makes as if he would help Hjörvarth to win Sigrlinn, although later he tries to prevent it.
I have tried to make it probable that Atli, in one of the stories on which the Lay of Hjörvarth and Sigrlinn is based, as well as in the þiðrekssaga, was the name of the chief hero of the story, viz.
